Seasonal Weather Infographic


Seasonal Weather Infographic


2nd Grade Content Standard 2: Compare and contrast seasonal weather changes.

EdTeach Standard 8: Use technology resources for problem-solving, self directed learning, and extended learning activities. 

This info-graphic is a very visual way to teach my students about the seasons, and how the weather changes with the four seasons. I found this to be a very easy tool to use, with fun templates already in place so all you have to do is add in your information and pictures. I will utilize this project in my classroom by printing off copies for each of my students so they can follow along with me as I go through each season. My students will be able to identify each of the seasons, what time of the year they arrive, and what the weather will be like.

Keeping Children Active!

Follow Sandee's board Tips & Tricks to Keep Children Active on Pinterest.


3rd Grade Content Standard 3: Demonstrate and apply knowledge of physical fitness.

EdTech Standard 8: Use technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities. 


Pintrest is such a unique tool that I use for my classroom! It allows my students and their parents to use my pins to discover for themselves how to keep healthy and active. Pintrest has a wide variety of tips, tricks, and solutions on how to eat healthy and stay moving as a child. It is interactive, and easy to look at, allowing for active learning. I also love using this tool as a friendly reminder in my classroom. It is easy to follow my classroom blog and look through my Pintrest board until the child and/or parent has ideas of how to keep healthy and active. It is a different, but fun way to teach standard 3 on physical fitness.

Key Details in Text Prezi


 



2nd Grade Content Standard 1: Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in text.

Ed Tech Standard 5: Use technology tools for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. 

This Prezi will be used in my classroom to help my elementary level students understand how to find the who,what,when,where,and how in text. Prezi is an interactive tool, and is great to keep student's attention. I have further utilized this tool by posting it on my classroom website, allowing parents to help their students learn outside my classroom as well. This Prezi will be used at the beginning of my lesson plan for this standard. I will show it to help my students define, and become familiar with the terms (who, what, when, why, how). If extra help is needed after I have taught these terms, please go to my classroom blog and review this Prezi until you understand!
